What Is Gamergate, and Why? An Explainer for Non-Geeks

Gawker posted:

Volume One - A Reckoning
Chapter I: In The House Of My Parents
TODAY it seems to me providential that Fate should have chosen Braunau on the Inn as my
birthplace. For this little town lies on the boundary between two German states which we of the
younger generation at least have made it our life work to reunite by every means at our disposal.
German-Austria must return to the great German mother country, and not because of any
economic considerations. No, and again no: even if such a union were unimportant from an
economic point of view; yes, even if it were harmful, it must nevertheless take place. One blood
demands one Reich. Never will the German nation possess the moral right to engage in colonial
politics until, at least, it embraces its own sons within a single state. Only when the Reich
borders include the very last German, but can no longer guarantee his daily bread, will the moral
right to acquire foreign soil arise from the distress of our own people. Their sword will become
our plow, and from the tears of war the daily bread of future generations will grow. And so this
little city on the border seems to me the symbol of a great mission. And in another respect as
well, it looms as an admonition to the present day. More than a hundred years ago, this
insignificant place had the distinction of being immortalized in the annals at least of German
history, for it was the scene of a tragic catastrophe which gripped the entire German nation. At
the time of our fatherland's deepest humiliation, Johannes Palm of Nuremberg, burgher,
bookseller, uncompromising nationalist and French hater, died there for the Germany which he
loved so passionately even in her misfortune. He had stubbornly refused to denounce his
accomplices who were in fact his superiors. In thus he resembled Leo Schlageter. And like him,
he was denounced to the French by a representative of his government An Augsburg police
chief won this unenviable fame, thus furnishing an example for our modern German officials in
Herr Severing's Reich.
In this little town on the Inn, gilded by the rays of German martyrdom, Bavarian by blood,
technically Austrian, lived my parents in the late eighties of the past century; my father a dutiful
civil servants my mother giving all her being to the household, and devoted above all to us
children in eternal, loving care Little remains in my memory of this period, for after a few years my father had to leave the little border city he had learned to love, moving down the Inn to take
a new position in Passau, that is, in Germany proper.
In those days constant moving was the lot of an Austrian customs official. A short time later, my
father was sent to Linz, and there he was finally pensioned. Yet, indeed, this was not to mean
"res"' for the old gentleman. In his younger days, as the son of a poor cottager, he couldn't bear
to stay at home. Before he was even thirteen, the little boy laced his tiny knapsack and ran away
from his home in the Waldviertel. Despite the at tempts of 'experienced' villagers to dissuade
him, he made his way to Vienna, there to learn a trade. This was in the fifties of the past century.
A desperate decision, to take to the road with only three gulden for travel money, and plunge
into the unknown. By the time the thirteen-year-old grew to be seventeen, he had passed his
apprentice's examination, but he was not yet content. On the contrary. The long period of
hardship, endless misery, and suffering he had gone through strengthened his determination to
give up his trade and become ' something better. Formerly the poor boy had regarded the priest
as the embodiment of all humanly attainable heights; now in the big city, which had so greatly
widened his perspective, it was the rank of civil servant. With all the tenacity of a young man
whom suffering and care had made 'old' while still half a child, the seventeen-year-old clung to
his new decision-he did enter the civil service. And after nearly twenty-three years, I believe, he
reached his goal. Thus he seemed to have fulfilled a vow which he had made as a poor boy: that
he would not return to his beloved native village until he had made something of himself.
His goal was achieved; but no one in the village could remember the little boy of former days,
and to him the village had grown strange.
When finally, at the age of fifty-six, he went into retirement, he could not bear to spend a single
day of his leisure in idleness. Near the Upper Austrian market village of Lambach he bought a
farm, which he worked himself, and thus, in the circuit of a long and industrious life, returned to
the origins of his forefathers.
It was at this time that the first ideals took shape in my breast.
